How I transformed a tired chimney breast into a feature wall
"The last time we decorated my teenage daughter's bedroom was when she was three years old - she is now 14 and it is in desperate need of a refresh. We were planning on moving house up until earlier this year and so had been putting off many decorating jobs. However, we have now decided to stay put and extend meaning many very overdue tasks are back on the to-do list - including putting some stylish teenage bedroom ideas into action."
"This was a tricky task - we knew we wanted the chimney breast to become a bit of a feature wall, and my daughter was keen on something really bold and dramatic. We tried out all kinds of deep shades, from forest greens to stormy navy, but in the end settled on Railings by Farrow & Ball, a hue billed as being 'a softer alternative to black' and perfect for 'enveloping spaces'. If you are after grey bedroom ideas I'd definitely consider using this shade."
A teenage bedroom that had been painted mainly white with a duck egg blue chimney breast showed scrapes, fingerprints, make-up smears and general wear. An inky grey feature wall with classic panelling was chosen as the focal point based on the girl's preferences. Multiple deep shades were sampled before selecting Farrow & Ball Railings, described as a softer alternative to black and suitable for enveloping spaces. The renovation included prepping and cleaning damaged walls, installing panelling on the chimney breast, painting the feature and surrounding walls in a warm neutral, then restyling with updated accessories.
